The music therapy concentration at Rowan University provides robust musical and clinical preparation through academic, practical, and applied studies. Our program has a unique hybrid online and face-to-face format, which offers flexibility for busy students. Our faculty includes experienced and skilled music therapists who teach clinical musicianship courses in weekly face-to-face classes. Our hybrid online courses include asynchronous work (students review materials and complete work on their schedule) combined with three face-to-face meetings during the semester for hands-on, interactive learning experiences. These experiences include course-based work with community agencies and schools to introduce students to music therapy practices. We are rapidly growing our roster of affiliated clinical settings throughout South Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and New York to provide a wide range of practicum and internship experiences. Students in the bachelor’s program study their primary instrument or voice with Rowan’s distinguished studio faculty and perform in choral, instrumental, orchestral, band, early music, opera, and jazz ensembles. In addition, students can take courses in Rowan’s Music Industry program, with access to recording studios and technology labs.
